About the role

We are looking for an occupational therapist for the Rehabilitation Unit at Kålltorpsgatan in the City Centre. Together with dedicated colleagues, you will help patients regain their independence and create conditions for a good life.

Here, you will meet patients who need support to recover and return to their daily lives. Following people on their journey back to health makes the work both meaningful and inspiring. Your main tasks will be to assess rehabilitation needs and follow the occupational therapy process.

You will have an independent role here, but you will never be alone. You will become part of a multidisciplinary team where we collaborate closely and always put the patient's needs at the center. You will plan and implement interventions that strengthen the patient's functional and activity abilities, based on person-centered goals. The role also includes supervising nursing staff, delegating rehabilitative measures, and prescribing and testing out assistive devices. You will work in ordinary housing as well as in care and nursing homes.

We want you to have a good work environment with a balance between work and leisure. If you feel good at work, you do a better job, which ultimately leads to better treatment and service for those we serve. As a new employee, we offer you a good introduction and mentorship so that you feel secure in your role. We are a stable work group with broad competence. As a new colleague, you are offered collegial support, and we are keen on ensuring your competence is utilized so that you can participate in the development within various areas of the operation.

Welcome to become part of our dedicated team.

About you

We are looking for you who are a licensed occupational therapist. A valid driver's license (Category B) is a requirement. It is meritorious if you have previous experience of geriatric rehabilitation and/or experience of municipal healthcare.

We place great emphasis on good treatment, as it is a cornerstone of patient-centered work. Showing respect and consideration for the people you meet in your professional role is crucial for creating a safe and trusting relationship with patients. By being sensitive to their needs and listening actively, you can adapt your help and treatment to match their wishes and conditions. The ability to motivate and inspire is also central to the patient's rehabilitation and recovery. By being able to engage and support patients, you help them feel strengthened in their own ability to take responsibility for their health. Being able to motivate others is often the key to long-term progress.

Since we work in teams, your ability to contribute to good collaboration and create a positive work environment is of great importance. By sharing knowledge and supporting each other, we can achieve the best possible results for those we serve. You have the ability to take responsibility and independently organize and prioritize tasks to deliver efficient care.
